New fascinate owner - Fascinate General

So I'm now own a fascinate after owning a Droid 1, epic, ascend 2, Droid x, and now this... I was wondering if anyone could help me with finding cm7, which recovery, how to properly install it. I so far have the Samsung drivers and Odin 3 but my first attempt cm7 it worked fine minus no 3g and gapps wouldn't flash/install, so than I tried going back to stock and it bricked on me " thanks to mobilecomm man" I now have my phone back but I think I'm running 2.1 is their anything newer like 2.3 ? It would be great if someone could help me out

Did you repartition when you were installing cm7?

He should have... the guide I posted in the 2nd link clearly states to repartition. Usually if you add the pit file, repartition auto checks itself anyways.

There is no official 2.3 update yet... but there is a powerwashed gingerbread rom in dev section thats a official mezmerize build. Its basically a stock gb rom thats rooted/debloated/ bing free/ deodexed.

you need to odin this just like a stock package. use the going back to stock section of this guide below. Just replace the file in step 1 with powerwashed gb.

I agree PW GB is very good except when I try to play 3d games (Guerrilla Bob) the touch screen freezes and does not allow any movement.

I currently have a rooted vibrant my buddy has a fascinate it has been ota updated to 2.2.1 is there a root method or do I need to Odin his phone back to eclair? Thanks in advance hope I'm posting in the right area. I've got cm7 #85 and the new Neo 17 would like to find something similar for his fascinate.

Just use the guide I posted in the 2nd link. It will put his phone on powerwashed ed05 2.2.2 froyo. It's basically a stock rom thats already rooted, debinged, debloated, otb fusion 1.6 voodoo kernal...etc. No point in just rooting anymore with these enhanced stock roms that ccompos put together for us.

Thanks will do

thats because the version of cwm you are running supports ext4 only, not rfs that powerwashed gingerbread is built on. Make sure you have cwm 2.5.1.x red recovery. There is no need to go all the way back to eb01. the stock ed05 package is fine.

Need help returning to stock 2.1 update 1 plz

Sorry I can't help you as I don't have what you're looking for. However, why not just use odin? It's just as easy as clockwork to use.

Go to this page to download the TRUE stock rom. I think it is in ODIN's format but it should work easity just as clockwork. I don't know if it's the same version as the one you have but give ODIN a chance, it was very simple for me and I'm practically a noob.

What's the zip file? Odin files usually contain a pit and a tar file. clockwork's zip have a bunch of folders and files, I think.
Yea you cannot use CWM to flash an Odin package. Use Odin to get back to 2.1.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
KA6 is official now - so no need to go all the way back to 2.1 to return phone. But you'll still need to use Odin to get the completely stock version on.

File is vibrantdump.zip, got it from the bible. I dont want to go all the way back to stock, just dont want them to turn it on and it be running nero v5.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
So, could you flash back to stock with the current 2.2 update from Samsung? Or would flashing back to 2.1 be better?
vibrantdump.zip isn't an actual rom - it's just an archive containing the vibrant file tree. It doesn't have any scripts to install or anything.
Edit: If you're sending it back to Samsung for warranty work, you could always use a stock (not deodex/root/etc) JI6 clockwork mod image. KA6 is official, but not required.
I don't believe its possible to use CWM to flash back to 2.1 from 2.2 in any case because it doesn't backup the kernel. ODIN is the best (perhaps only?) way, but again not necessary since KA6 2.2 is now official.

You can flash a 2.1 rom with kernel such as fusion. Then flash your stock backup and a stock ji6 kernel.

Well I kinda told em that it had 2.1 update 1 lol, my reason for sending back was the gps and according to tmo cust serv the 2.2 release has a fix, I dont pay for a warranty, I guess its just a defective exchange. It also gets super hot above the battery when im really pushing it, that may be why they issued the return because I told them about that too. so if I cant flash the vibrantdump.zip, what would be a rom that simulates 2.1 the best? I cant get to a pc so I cant odin until wednesday and need to get it resembling stock before then. I know I cant lose clockwork recovery but just wanted it to say the right stuff in phone info and have the right startup shutdowns you know? Am I just worrying too much?
Edit: I cant kies mini the new update, no pc, there isnt a clockwork flashable version of it yet is there? could tell them I got it ota while waiting for new phone

If you're new at this, don't bother flashing dl30. It's full of bugs and there should be better versions coming soon.

Do i have to :
1. go to cwm, disable lagfix
2. wipe all
3. restore eclair backup
4. reboot, flash by odin di01modem.tar
5. that's it
is it work to get me back my eclair stock rom??

Rocking dj05 and jt's voodoo 5
It is my understanding that if you run the complete odin package it will overwrite even voodoo.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
i have killed my phone 3 times not disabling voodoo correctly when flashing roms. and each and every time adrynalyne's full di01 restore package has overwritten the whole thing for the win.
so if you are going back to bone stock, unrooted, full bloated eclair, (ie because you need to bring the phone back to verizon for warranty work) then that is your best bet. it will indeed wipe any and all voodoo whatnot from your phone.
Isn't it fine just to bring it back to stock DL09 Eclair, since that's the latest official OTA release? I don't see why you need to go back all the way to DI01 if you're planning on returning it. But I guess in the end of the day it won't really matter either way.
It doesn't really matter, all of the all in one vzw fascinate odins will work.
You technically don't _need_ to odin anything but the modem though.
For me, there was no lagfix and I had a working cwr/rom manager, so I did it in three quick steps.
1. Nandroid restore my DL09 setup.
2. Odin DL09 modem over EB01.
3. install a DL09 kernel from clockwork recovery and wipe the cache.
I was exactly where I was before with no headache.
Nandroid doesn't flash modem nor kernel.
However the all in ones may be faster if you are building from scratch (and absolutely the fastest route to stock). You should pick an all in one with the modem and kernel you want or you will have to do steps 2 & 3 either way.

I agree, but Froyo does make is a little more faster but with leaked ROMs they aren't fully tested, so that's why they are a little buggy, and thats why we have great devs here that fix em as soon as we find em

Flashing Problems

Hey guys,
I have been trying to flash my Samsung Vibrant for a few days now with no success. I rooted the phone using superoneclick, then I clicked on Axura's link on android development section to get Axura 2.3.1.2. I followed the video posted by the dev to install the new Rom. It stated to use OCLF, then use Rom manager to install the app.
Well I went into Rom manager installed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.2 I believe it was. Then I click on install Rom and it asked if I wanted to backup current rom and wipe cache. I checked both and hit okay, the list came up where I had Axura installed on my Sd I clicked that......it said phone will reboot into clockworkmod recovery to load, after that is when the problem starts. It automatically goes into Samsung recovery i select reinstall packaged and get error e: signature not verified.
I have tried to get into recovery manually by holding vol -+ and power but still loads into samsung recovery not clockwork. Has anyone ran into this problem before?? I've searched all over the forum and google and could not find any info to help me with this. I really would like to install some custom Roms to try them out.
Thank you very much in advance to anyone who can help. I tried to be as specific as I can with the problem but if you guys need more info I can give more. Thank you
Have you updated to 2.2 already? The official 2.2 comes with a new recovery version, that causes problems with CWR.
If you had upgraded, odin back to 2.1, then root and flash a custom firmware from there. I recommend Bionix V 1.3.1, it is pretty beast.

I upgraded to 2.2 Froyo with Kies Mini couple of weeks ago. I was tired of waiting for it and thought it was going to be a big improvement over Eclair but didnt notice anything except losing my MMS messaging!
Is there any way to do it with Froyo before I Odin back to Eclair?

Therr is a thread im the dev section on how to modify the recovery but tbh its easier to odin and start the process over...it's not like you weren't going to habe to wipe the phone when you flashed custom firmwares.

CWM Upgrade/flashing

I currently own a rooted Samsung Galaxy s 4g (SGH-T959V) running Gingerbread with ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.7 Voodoo lag fix.
I am getting pretty frustrated with the fact that I am running froyo because I can not get most of the apps I want. Plus, the Gingerbread homescreen is so slow and just looks weird. So I want to upgrade to kit kat. But I hear I have to upgrade CWM, and I have no idea how to do that.
If someone could give me the links to all the kernels and steps to do so it would be much appreciated.
Thank You!

There is like...literally no possible way you are running Froyo. It hasn't been developed in like 3 years.
As for links to all KitKat stuff, there is a search feature that will guide you to all that you need.
One problem bro, I really am running froyo and I have searched it but couldn't find anything for my device. Please if you do know where to find it it would save me a TON of time if you would just tell me.

I have a one click that's only bhundven's blastoff v2.5 kernel. If you're already on gingerbread this will install the blue CWM v5 for you that will allow you to flash a kitkat rom.
